Abstract
In order to narrow the gap between real-road and certification test fuel consumption rate of heavy-duty commercial vehicles. CHTC (China Heavy-duty vehicle Test Cycle) series test cycles have been developed, and will replace C-WTVC (China-World Transient Vehicle Cycle) test cycle in the latest standard for fuel consumption rate measurement of heavy-duty commercial vehicle. Due to the change of test cycle, the fuel consumption limits standard should also be revised. In this paper, all kinds of the heavy-duty commercial vehicles have been chosen, and the fuel consumption rates under CHTC and C-WTVC have been measured. The fuel consumption values under idling, acceleration, deceleration and constant speed conditions were calculated after the treatment of same mileage. Also the fuel consumption rate under different conditions were compared in order to realize the reasons causing the fuel consumption rate variation. Results showed that the fuel consumption rate of CHTC were slightly lower than C-WTVC except for bus and coach. And the main reasons for the fuel consumption rate variation were attributed to the fuel consumption rate under constant speed condition and the accelerated condition. In addition, the driving efficiency of the two test cycles was another reason, that is, the difference of the duration of each condition under the same mileage. The longer the duration, the higher the fuel consumption.
